Title: Unconfirmed transaction for more than 3 days
Post by: Petarosus18 on May 07, 2017, 11:33:18 PM
Hello there,
Ive made Bitcoin transaction using Electrum, program obviously used too low miner fee (Im rookie). Thing is, what the hell am I gonna do now? I thought after 72 hours it gets back to a sending adress, but nothing happened.... What to do?
Here is the transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/e30ef8ac7e5a64fe88130230f37c769e5245020c6d15ac5afa1f6afca37d56cd
Thanks

Hello you tried to pushed your transaction with this tool : https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ ? if you haven't try it.
Next time check this site : https://bitcoinfees.21.co to know how much you will include  a fee in every transaction that you made.

That's really low with a 50 sat/ byte as fee. Have you tried increasing the fee using your electrum. Afaik electrum has a feature that you can set to activate a manual fee then an option to replace a fee in one of your transaction will be available. Your transaction will only return once all the nodes dropped it , in your case it's not.

I was not able, to find a way to change fee on already broadcasted transaction. I would have already done it... Does anybody know how to increase fee on already broadcasted transaction in Electrum? ( There is only an option that has to be set one BEFORE broadcasting a transaction)
PS: So Eventually if it gets dropped on all nodes its gonna get back right?
Thanks

what version of electrum are you using?  go to preference > fees > enable replace by fee. next time you should do it in your transactions incase you send another that has a very low fee.

I'd suggest you use an accelerator to make sure this doesn't get stuck in outer space. viaBTC has a trusted accelerator which you can find at https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ I wish you the best of luck getting this transaction sent.
